ALRIGHT FUEL CELLS RULE!

[NDPTAL85]

YES!

Now instead of being able to plug in my cell phone and recharge it for FREE, I can now PAY for a fuel cell recharge! WOO HOO!

And instead of the power being conviently in any place where there's an outlet I now get to worry about finding places to BUY fuel cell refills and making sure I have ENOUGH ON HAND at any given time so I'm not ASS OUT OF LUCK!

I'm so glad these fuel cell companies have relieved me of the misery of plugging my phone in every other day. I mean that was SOOOO hard. And its not like buying just one spare battery was easy or anything. Scrounging around for places that SELL fuel cell refills is a much more convienent thing to do in the middle of the night after you've been on the phone for a long period of time and the charge runs down. Phew.

So lets just review for those who may not have gotten it yet.

Instead of recharging my phone at home for FREE, I now get to PAY!
Instead of being able to recharge my phone in my car for FREE, I now get to PAY!
Instead of having the convienence of power at any outlet or carrying an extra battery for those RARE times the average human is away from an outlet for extended periods of time, I get to SCROUNGE FOR FUEL CELL REFILLS!
Lastly, instead of buying an extra charger for the workplace to recharge my phone for FREE, I get to PAY for fuel cell refills!

WOO HOO! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

Now THIS is a business plan. Someone ought to make sure that THIS kind of business thinking is taught to all those dot.com rejects who came up with those HORRIBLY STUPID business plans that had NO HOPE OF MAKING ANY MONEY CAUSE THEY WERE STUPID!

Actually Bic lighters are still allowed on airplanes even after the shoe-bomber incident. The tobacco companies lobbied the Bush adminstration to remove them from the 'restricted items list' citing that it would hurt their addicts...I mean customers.
